Riesz magnification for baby sleeping does not work

Thanh-Binh opened this issue · 2 comments

I tested your SW for the video baby sleeping from MIT, but do not see any magnification.
Here is my setting parameters:
pyramid level = 4
amplification = 50
Cutoff wave length 5
Freq low 0.04, high: 0.4

Moreover, I am interested in understanding why do you use lowpass and highpass filter within riesz pyramid (by building and reconstruction)?

What do you think?
Thanks

Hey,

your Cutoff Wavelength is too low. The rule is - the smaller the cutoff wl, the bigger the spatial image features have to be to be amplified.

High- and Lowpass are needed to generate the pyramid, as described in their paper in Sec. 3.2, originating from Simoncelli et al.
